Oh, I like Songs From The Mirror a lot. Some fairly ‘standard’ quality covers (Boston Tea Party, Hold Your Head Up (which probably would have been my last choice for a single) Solo, Jeepster), sure, but some absolute crackers too!
Question and Fearless are worth the price of admission alone, and Five Years blows Bowie’s version out of the water as far as I’m concerned, and is surpassed only by the shivers-down-the-spine version on Sushi.
Songs From The Mirror really takes me back: I saw Fish a lot on that tour, and I still remember the anticipation of its release, the fact that it was originally going to be called ‘The Guddler’ (which the printers them misspelled on the back cover (Fish’s mum and I had written correspondence about that one (this was in the days when she basically ran The Company Scotland))…Fond memories of younger days…
